WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Later today, I will publish my last podcast for the year and this will be a posting all on its own.
May I take this opportunity to wish all of my readers, wherever you are, a very Merry Christmas and a happy, peaceful and prosperous 2009. And I pray that 2009 will be a telling year in the Zimbabwean story.
The revelation, coming just days after the list of Mugabe supporters who are banned from entering Britain was expanded, has prompted politicians to express concern that the government is failing to restrict the activities of those who have helped the Zimbabwean President maintain his hold on power.
Florence Chitauro, one of Mugabe’s loudest cheerleaders, who during her time as a ZANU PF minister was responsible for suppressing strikes against his regime, lives in a plush town house in west London with her husband, James, a former senior civil servant in Zimbabwe who played a key role in advising the Mugabe administration. Their son and daughter also live in the UK.
When confronted by The Observer, Chitauro said she was a ‘private citizen at the moment’ and declined to comment further. Asked whether she now denounced the Mugabe regime, she replied: ‘No, I’m not going to say that.’
She said that she was in Britain as ‘a way of right’, having ‘contributed to the UK for a long time’. She also confirmed: “I’m here, but sometimes I go back to Zimbabwe.“
Like the person that I met that is a ‘refugee’ here in the UK – who frequently flies back to Zimbabwe on holiday… It boggles the mind.
And it isn’t like Chitauro has been a quiet supporter of Mugabe.
“Chitauro was Minister for Labour, Public Service and Social Welfare during the mid to late Nineties when she declared that a national strike against the Mugabe regime was ‘illegal’. She went on national television to warn those who took industrial action that they would lose their jobs. Troops were sent into curb the unrest, which eventually gave birth to the Movement for Democratic Change, the main opposition. Her husband, James Chitauro, is a former permanent secretary who worked at the departments of defence, engineering and water, and education.
She went on to become Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Australia and provoked a diplomatic furore after she criticised the country’s then Prime Minister, John Howard, for “taking it upon himself to be some kind of messiah for Zimbabwe'”after he spoke against its readmission to the Commonwealth. ‘John Howard has not helped this situation by more or less accusing people of being dictatorial,’ Chitauro said in 2003, in comments that earned her a rebuke from the Australian government. In 2005 Mugabe recalled Chitauro to stand as a ZANU PF candidate in elections for the Zimbabwean parliament’s upper house. Mugabe later said he did not remember recalling her.“
I really do struggle to understand the objectives of the UK government. I heard about a couple recently, both UK born who had gone to then Rhodesia as young children, who upon arriving back in the UK, have had their ‘habitual residency’ questioned and their right to live in the UK may be rejected…
So the government allow a questionable Zimbabwean to stay, but question returning English-born Zimbabweans?
And this woman’s husband was slaughtered by Mugabe’s followers!
Priviledge Thulambo, 39, whose husband was murdered by Robert Mugabe’s men, and her children are being detained in a controversial immigration centre after being seized by immigration officers on Friday.
Friends of the family said the Home Office would be guilty of “murder by the back door” by deporting the three women. They are all Zimbabwean nationals, but because they entered the UK on Malawian passports “ the only way they could escape the Mugabe regime “ eight years ago, they have had their claims for asylum rejected.
After spending Christmas in the grim surroundings of the Yarl’s Wood detention centre, they will be forced on to a flight to Malawi on 29 December. Because of their Zimbabwean nationality they are likely to be immediately sent to their home country, where they face torture or death.“
Where is the continuity in these two cases?
I mean, how can the UK government decide to leave a Mugabe-ite in place in the UK, and have a family that has already had their unity smashed with the death of the man of the family being killed by Mugabe forces, sent back to Zimbabwe?
“They are in this desperate situation despite UK government policy that no Zimbabwean nationals will be sent back there unless they are members of the ruling ZANU PF party.
It follows criticism last week of the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, who warned cabinet colleagues of an “influx” of Zimbabwean refugees fleeing the cholera outbreak.“
Go figure.
Yes, Mugabe may get his war veterans and youth militia and any other people he can find to beat up on the Zimbabwean population, but I think that the Zimbabwean people have learned a lot since the elections in March, and Mugabe would be staring defeat in the eye.
And I do believe that even if Mugabe disallows foreign observers during any election, the truth will come out very quickly and I think that the free world would have an obligation to intervene.
It would be entirely wrong to ignore yet another Mugabe-style election.
“Zimbabwe‘s ruling party said Saturday it could call new elections if the opposition fails to support a proposed constitutional amendment meant to pave the way for a unity government.
The draft amendment will be published in the government gazette, the first step toward bringing it to parliament for approval, Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa said in the state-run Herald newspaper.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change won control of parliament for the first time in March elections, but does not have enough seats to approve the amendment on its own.
“In the event that the collaboration that we envisage is not forthcoming, then that will necessitate fresh harmonized elections at some point in time,” Chinamasa said in the paper.“
Chinamasa is NOT the Justice Minister! He is not even an MP – unless, of course, you count Mugabe appointing him on a free ticket. He is not a member of the cabinet as there isn’t one in Zimbabwe.
Please stop lending legitimacy to Mugabe’s crowd of thugs!
“Negotiators for President Robert Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai have agreed to a draft of the text, but MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa warned that key issues surrounding the unity government remain unresolved.
“There are still some outstanding issues which need to be resolved before the bill goes through. These issues which are political in nature relate to issues of appointment of governors, ministers and others,” Chamisa told AFP.
Tsvangirai won a first round presidential vote in March, but pulled out of a runoff after a deadly campaign of violence, which he accused Mugabe’s party of orchestrating.
Mugabe and Tsvangirai signed a unity accord three months ago, but so far have failed to agree on how to form a cabinet, leaving government in limbo as the nation confronts a cholera epidemic that has killed nearly 800 people.“
Circling the drain – and that cannot continue forever.
In the deal – brokered by the former South African leader Thabo Mbeki – Tsvangirai who heads the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) would become the prime minister while Mugabe remains the president.
“This looks like the bill was tabled by ZANU PF – with very little contribution from the MDC.
This is typical Mugabe. He wants the ‘government’ to push through the amendment, and before we know it, ZANU PF have eroded the slim majority held by the MDC – and Mugabe and his party remain in control – even though they lost the election.
“Nelson Chamisa, the MDC spokesperson said of the gazetting of the bill: “That is a ZANU PF project. Gazetting the bill does not automatically translate into passing it into law. That can only take place if outstanding issues have been addressed, otherwise we will not support the bill.
“The issues we want addressed includes the recusal of Mr Mbeki as the mediator. He is taking instructions from ZANU PF and we have informed SADC about it,” he added.
The power-sharing deal is yet to take effect as the MDC accuse Mugabe of taking all the key ministries such as foreign affairs, local government, finance, home affairs and defence.“
Mugabe doesn’t worry about niceties like agreements or accords. We don’t have to look back through his history to find many instances where he has failed stand by his signature. Once he has got what he wants, he then abandons everything that he may have agreed to.
There can be no doubt that Mugabe is an extremely intelligent person, and he must not be under estimated.
Mugabe spends his life blaming his shortcomings on the West – and also has great fun in pointing fingers at the MDC – whilst any accusation against ZANU PF is either ignored or turned on its head.
Mugabe claims that there are MDC militia camps in Bostswana. Mugabe’s own CIO agents came back empty-handed, but he has somehow convinced SADC that the accusation holds some water and they have sent in their own people.
Which will find nothing.
Meanwhile, the Mugabe government thinks that Mugabe’s announcement that the cholera was undercontrol was just the leader being ‘sarcastic’.
How would they like us to get sarcastic about the death of their own?
Should we not make small of the death in a car ‘accident’ recently of Elliot Manyika?
Mugabe uses many tools and many weapons in his rule and ruin of Zimbabwe.
